Music Analyzer software is currently free. However, I reserve
the right to change this policy in the future.

Note:
There is no warranty that the project will run on all platforms and suit all
your needs. I also assume absolutely no responsibility for any damage, either
expressed or implied, which may be caused by the use or impossibility to use
of this software. You may use it at your own risk. -

To install Music Analyzer on your machine, simply download it
from the link above and save to any directory of your choice (you may want to
create a new one). You can also create a shortcut to it for easy access.

First, download the tutorial sample (mp3) and place
it into a separate directory on your computer. If after clicking on the link
the Save As dialog does not appear, but the browser starts playing,
stop the playback, right-click on the link and select "Save As" from
the popup menu that appears.

Open Music Analyzer and select "New Project" from the menu "File".
In the dialog that appears, click on the "Select" button next to "Source
Sound File" and select the tutorial sample you have just downloaded, then
press OK.

Place the WAV file to the same directory with your MP3, return to Music Analyzer,
and this time specify WAV file instead of MP3.

The process of creating "project file" (which is basically a dynamic
spectrum of the original sound, mapped to "musical coordinates") may
take several minutes to complete. After it is finished, the project will be
opened and you will see a picture like this:

Press Fix Measure []
button on the toolbar. Move the red vertical line to the start of the first
note and left-click. A solid green verical line now denotes the starting musical
measure.

Press Tempo []
button. Now point mouse over one of the black (not "fixed") vertical
lines, and drag it to the right until you see that the first "musical phrase"
fits correctly into the measures.

Press Fix Measure again and click over the third
measure line, which becomes green.

Press Time Signature []
button and set 6/8. Now you can see:

Press Fix Measure and fix the next measure, then
press Tempo and drag it to the left until it points
to the start of the second musical phrase.

Right-click on that "condensed" measure and select Time
Signature from the pop-up menu. In the dialog that appears, change
to 3/8.

Press Tempo and adjust the measures to the right
from that short measure. You see now:

Press Fine Tune [],
point to one of the horizontal lines (pitch delimiters), and drag it up a little
bit, so the colored note bars fall in between the pitch delimiters, not across
them.

Select "All Channels" from the Set Active Channel
list. Then press Key Signature []
button on the toolbar and put checks on F# and Minor.
You will see the picture like this:

Make sure "Channel 1" is selected in the Set Active Channel
drop-down list. Press Channel 1 Setup button next to this list, and specify
the MIDI instrument, volume, pan, reverb etc. for this channel:

If you are setting up an instrument which is supposed to sound on the left
stereo pan position, use smaller values for Pan parameter
(on the original picture, red/orange bars). If you are setting up for the right
pan (blue/cyan bars), use greater values (like 100-127). The "center"
value of Pan is 64.

The Wheel parameter means "modulator wheel".
Set it to non-zero if you want some modulation (vibrato) for the given
instrument.

Now switch to Notes []
and try to input some MIDI notes over the visible bars. Just click with the
mouse on the beginning of a bar, then drag if necessary to achieve the proper
duration. You may also want to change the default Note Duration
from the corresponding menu or clicking on the tool button [].

Finally, you may want to download the complete project
- DSX File (8k) and compare the results. Close the project in Music Analyzer,
download the dsx file, place it into your project's directory, and then open
the project with Music Analyzer again.
